POPS Ohio Couple Giving Up Baby After Clinic Mix-Up
Savage and her husband decided that the right thing"the only thing"to do was to give the baby to the biological parents. "This was someone else's child," she told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "We didn't know who it was. We didn't know if they didn't have children or if this was their last chance for a child." "We knew if our child was out there, we'd go to the ends of the earth to get our child back," she said. Savage, 40, is due to give birth to a boy within the next two weeks via cesarean section. When it happens, biological parents Paul and Shannon Morell, of Michigan, will be nearby, waiting to meet their son. "How do you thank somebody for what they've done?" Shannon Morell said. "I could say thank you a million different ways." The Savages say the fertility clinic transferred the wrong frozen embryo to Carolyn's womb in early February. Ten days later, Sean Savage got a call from a doctor saying his wife was pregnant with someone else's child.

POPSHope in Toledo. May it Rub Off Here. I admire their courage, but nothing will change, the school administration is equally, if not more liberal than the professors. If anything they're jeopardizing their grades and therefore their futures, there's no way to liberate academia from the left. The best thing we can do is prepare our kids for the inevitable indoctrination...."> (quote from http://www.weaselzippers.net/blog/ )

POPSComic: "Men kissing each other…it throws me off" says Kiss my ass, Joe The even bigger rent-a-mouthpiece than Palin is displaying his best attribute. Yes, Joe the bigotry, is now available for a large fee to any 'Christian' fundamentalist cult that need a rabble-rouser and can afford the fee. For the right fee, the asshole will bend right over but refuses to touch a male himself. He'll make a perfect prostitute candidate in the reformed Rush led GOP party. Please stop laughing. This is past funny.

POPSOhio sheriff says ice floe-stranded fishermen 'idiots' "Where is the common sense when they know the ice is broken?" Ottawa County, Ohio, Sheriff Bob Bratton told the Toledo Blade, estimating the cost of the sheriff's office response at $25,000. Bratton told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that the fishermen displayed poor judgment in building a makeshift bridge to get from one section of the ice to the other. "I have no problem with people ice fishing, but these idiots should realize that when you see open water, you should not build a bridge and cross it," he said. "It's a shame you can't arrest people for stupidity."

POPSOhio Rep. Kaptur Advises Homeowners Facing Foreclosure To Stay
Sandusky lawyer Dan McGookle, who is representing a homeowner trying to have a predatory loan rescinded, said mortgage firms may not be able to prove they complied with truth-in-lending laws and other state and federal procedures. "We have strong reason to believe that a majority of the mortgage loans made in the last 10 years are defective - unenforceable for various reasons," Mr. McGookle said. Ironically, Mr. Moody agreed that people threatened with foreclosure should try to work out a solution and should stay in the home as long as possible. Cathleen Tillman, director of the Lucas County Sheriff's Departmen, also said people should remain in the homes until the deed has been transferred, and not to abandon a home that is still listed in their name. "The foreclosure takes a long time," she said. More than 4,000 foreclosure actions were filed in 2008 in Lucas County, and the sheriff's department carried out 85 foreclosure-related evictions.

POPSObama To Combat “Joe The Plumber” With Average Americans Of His Own ... and Joe Biden starts to knock him around, carping that no real plumber makes $250K. Biden calls Joe the Plumber "the 250 guy," with the plumber now mum on his income. He just says he would like to make that much. The plumber was quoted in the hometown Toledo Blade thusly about Obama's "spread the wealth" cutoff of $250K: "That's a pretty socialist comment. Two-fifty ($250,000) is his number now. When is it going to be one fifty ($150,000), when it's going to be one hundred ($100,000) ?" He's far from the first one to apply the term, of course. Google "socialist" and Obama. You'll be awash in hits. Recently actor Jon Voight wrote this: If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way. http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/10/joe-the-plumber-2.html

POPSJoe the Plumber May Lose His Right to Vote.
Republican Joe might lose his right to vote due to another tactic of Republican voter suppression. Why? Because he name is misspelled. Misspelled by an election official when he registered. Misspelled by one letter. As this clip says: "disenfranchisement by typo." This happen to Jose Lopez-Sandin. The election official typed in his name as 'Joseph." This happen to Anne Nguyen. The election official typed her name as: "Ann." You would think such a thing would be no problem. No. You would think it could be corrected, right now, a few weeks before the elections; or even right there at the voting place. No. So, at least, such a voter could fill out a 'provisional ballot' and that solves the problem. No. Provisional ballots get rejected at an extremely high rate. You think stupid things like this (also, like having your home address with a typo), you would think the law would be changed. No. Republicans like this type of voter suppression that mainl

POPSOhio Natives - Big Obama Is Watching Isn't it nice that all these government agencies are so concerned about Joe the Plumber? And they all just happen to be Obama supporters too. Who knew that people who live off our tax money support a candidate who wants to take more of it?

POPSJoe The Plumber Says Obama Tax Plan 'Infuriates Me' John McCain may have found a blue-collar face to help him argue that no American -- not even the richest 5 percent -- should pay higher taxes. "Joe The Plumber" has weighed in on Wednesday's presidential debate and he says that Barack Obama's tax plan "infuriates me." While at least 184,000 small businesses would face higher taxes under Obama, the Illinois Democrat is also proposing a series of tax credits that could aid small businesses. Regardless of how Wurzelbacher would personally fare under the candidates' plans, he suggested to ABC News' Nightline that he is against all forms of progressive taxation. "I don't like it," said Wurzelbacher. "You know, me or -- you know, Bill Gates, I don't care who you are. If you worked for it, if it was your idea, and you implemented it, it's not right for someone to decide you made too much."

POPSANOTHER STOLEN ELECTION ???? The battle is already raging. Voter suppression and voter fraud, accusations going both ways. When will we have a nationwide, one person one vote system? When will each vote be accounted for and popular vote becomes the norm?
